THE HERALD

UPDATE2 7:30 PM EST: All servers are now open. Notes are listed below.
UPDATE: The servers should be back up by 7:30 PM EST / 12:30 AM GMT

The Live servers will be coming down immediately to address a server crash. We’ll update this post here once we have a solid estimate on the servers returning.

• Casual Groups can no longer have more than one minotaur relic carrier in the group at a time. This fixes the server crash.
• Horse speed should once again function at the intended velocity: Speed 5.

Hello all,

The newly revamped lower level dungeons and the new campaign encounter have both received some improvements. Read on for more details!

• New Quest Givers are now outside the Tomb of Mithra, Nisse’s Lair, and Muire’s Tomb that will grant players quests for each dungeon.
  • All Named monsters in these dungeons will now correctly drop their new loot.
• King Uther’s hitpoints have been increased significantly.
• The amount of monsters around King Uther have been reduced slightly
• The overall difficulty of the encounter has been toned down slightly while other adjustments have increased the difficulty for AFK players to participate and survive the encounter.
• A new repeatable quest and reward have been added to the encounter. Speak with Lieutenant Haley to receive the repeatable quest after defeating King Uther at least once.
• The Realm Rank 14 Titles for Albion have been changed as follows:
  • Archduke changed to Arch Duke
  • Archduchess changed to Arch Duchess

As always, stay tuned for more updates!

Greetings,

In an effort to increase the quality of support and streamline assistance for certain account and billing-related issues, Broadsword is now pleased to offer a new callback service to help resolve complex account and billing issues.

Please be aware that in-game issues are not part of this new initiative. Our support team will attempt to resolve all account and billing-related issues via email first. The callback service will only be offered in situations where all attempts to resolve the issue via email have been exhausted. Our aim is to lessen the amount of back and forth sometimes required in order to reduce the total resolution time of complex, account and billing-related issues.

Tentatively, the customer support team will be able to make callbacks between the hours of *12PM – 12AM EST* (noon – midnight) or *5PM – 5AM GMT*. Please keep that timeframe in mind when coordinating with the support team to setup a callback.

At this time, callbacks will only be offered in English.

This year, we’re adding an extra reward with players having the choice to receive a ROG ring or bracer in addition to the trophy when completing this quest.
